I have a copy of a Gold Medal (UK) edition of NURSE'S
QUARTERS by Cassill. Aside from that all I knew about him was
the article in TOUGH GUY WRITERS OF THE THIRTIES (which was
blurbed on the first Jim Thompson book I ever read, the Zomba
Black Box anthology). I understand that Cassill was a
respected academic (despite having written such titles as the
above mentioned). Did he write any other pieces aside from
the Thompson article that would be of interest, does anybody
know?
Rene (who's feeling terribly jolly after spending all - &
a bit more - of his spare cash on a whack of 1950's US
paperbacks, including THE CREEPING SIAMESE by Hammett &
MURDER IN THE WIND by John D MacDonald
(Dell 1st Edition - does this make it a pb original as
claimed by Dell? I'm thinking that Bill Crider would be one
of the guys who'd probably know).
